Setup (Physics)
Update Project
In the Project Schematic window, notice that there is a lightning symbol in the mesh box . This means that we need to update the project in order to continue. Press to apply the mesh. The lighting symbol should now be replaced by a green check mark , meaning we are ready to move on.
Launch FLUENT
To begin setup, double click . This will first launch a dialogue box with some options. Under Options, check the box marked Double Precision, and under Processing Options, select Parallel and change the Number of Processes to 2.
Once the options are set, press OK to launch FLUENT.
Turn on Energy
The first thing that needs to be done is to tell FLUENT to solve for temperature. To do this, we need to turn on the Energy Equation. In the outline, select Models. In the Models window, double click Energy. The Energy window should pop up. Check the box next to Energy Equation and press OK.
